Dream a little dream...

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've been privy to the Isabel Marant mania that has taken the fashion world by storm. The French designer has somehow been able to nail Parisian chic with ladylike jackets, slouchy boots, and flirty dresses that enviable fashionistas can't get enough of (despite their sky-high price tags). So even though the designs may not be in the realm of possibility for most, I think just taking a look at their latest runway show is a great way to get a little inspiration on what you may want to wear in the coming months. You don't have to own the real thing to channel the Marant sensibility. One quick look and you'll see that those slouchy boots are here to stay. Fresh, lilac prints against beautifully tanned skin seems to be all the rage, cinched off with a great, worn-in brown leather belt. These looks are uber-easy to recreate and may just mean that this enviable chic aesthetic is actually within all of our reach. Take a look and see if any of the looks inspire you. I know I can't wait to recreate some myself--the sooner the better!
